Welcome to Demonland - Pick 38

Featured Replies

MFC now look to have picks 38 and 42 albeit this is amended up and down by potential NGAs and zoning or even we might package up to get to pick 31 off the Eagles potentially or the Cats pick 32.  
 

Certainly some bargain sliders available in Johnson, Howes, Butler, Sonsie, Draper or Goater.   Then there is the predicted 2nd round core group of Knevitt, Conway, Zac Taylor &  Bazzo.  NGAs and zoning inclusions likely to be matched include Motlop, Owens, Windhager and Fahey. That could stretch out the round. 

who might be available…

Hopefully (but unlikely) Connor Macdonald slides down to our next pick or we package up to get him earlier up the board. He’s a good running outside mid and would be a handy addition. Others in the frame could be midfielder Corey Warner for his strong competitor nature or half fwd Judson Clarke for his goalkicking  and pace.  Wagner would add to our East Freo connection. 

Indeed JT might have a Smokey in the pack. It’s unlikely to be another key back or forward but you never know. 
 

pick 42 - if don’t package or trade it out into 2022, could be used on Charlie Molan (competitor, wing half back type)  Lewis Rayson (skilled left foot mid-defender) or Isaac Birt (goalkicking wingman).  

 

Maybe Cripps as a ruck/forward may be the way to go with our 2nd pick if he is still on the board.
Our only ruck Back up is Majak.

If Conway is available he would be my first choice but he probably will not be around even if we package a couple of picks and trade up.

I like our strategy of loading up with kids the last few years and needs this year. Tassy will be in soon/2 or 3 years? and their concessions will hurt the rest of the comp.

My eye is on Tassie player Sam Banks as a running half back type to add some depth to our medium defender stocks. Reportedly has excellent disposal and great athletic attributes.

187cm 73kg

Limited highlights, first 5-10 seconds have a significant glitch in the video which should come with a seizure warning.

Pick 38 would be a running backman wouldn't it. Whoever that is? Woewodin will be pick 42.

My Casey team is missing a half back flanker. Hopefully Taylor will target it.

Who is Sam Banks ?

Jeremy  Howes brother in law ?

A friend of yours? 

Tim Paines Manager ? 

Why is he any better than the draftees in Vic etc? 

Age and history please 

Very light 73 kg !! 

We actually need small defenders rather than medium. 

Got to say the highlights are about half pace. Not much pressure.

Jesus 58er.

He's a player I liked the look of off the half back line. Nothing more. I added a profile for people to read up on him if you wish. All highlights, eastern states more so, are below average this year for the obvious.

Richmond liked him at 29, we move on and now welcome Howes to the fold who the dees probably preferred anyway.

Taylor said Howes has played half back and could be his best position but then said he will play on the wing. We have Baker and Rosman on the wing so I'd play Howes off half back.

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
